PILATES REFORMER AUGUST SPECIALS

We are running some great Pilates Reformer Specials in August.

What Can Pilates Do For You

Build Core Strength

Pilates goes beyond surface muscles and targets the deep muscles of the abdominals and lower back. A strong core is the key ingredient to improved posture, balance, athletic performance and a healthy back.

Increase Flexibility

Pilates helps to make the spine more supple and flexibility throughout the body can increase. Circulation can improve and postural alignment is restored helping to build long lean and flexible muscles.

Improves Balance and Coordination

Regular Pilates practice is one of the best ways to maintain healthy joint mobility. Pilates students develop more balanced, streamlined muscles which directly relate to balance and coordination, as well as fewer injuries

Promotes Weight Loss

Pilates builds long lean muscles. Building muscle can help to improve metabolism and help you to reach your weight loss goals. Anxiety and Stress are often reduced through practicing Pilates which can help to make healthier lifestyle choices and greater self esteem.

What results can you expect to see?

The reformer accommodates a full range of motion, which is great for increasing flexibility while building strength. The pushing and pulling with the arms and legs against the resistance of the springs, carriage and body weight makes this a unique strength-building full-body workout that’s different from the regular Pilates exercises performed on the mat. Specifically, when you hold the cables in your hands or put your feet in the cables, you allow your muscles to extend to the fullest position. And while mat Pilates does include some exercises that work the legs and arms, they’re usually done with no resistance unless you’re using light dumbbells or a Pilates ring as an accessory. The reformer is able to target your arms and legs while still focusing on the core, providing a more comprehensive workout.

According to one study, Pilates reformer exercises performed once per week for 10 weeks resulted in reduced fall risk and significant improvements in static and dynamic balance and functional mobility in adults age 65 and older at risk for falling. Another study showed that after twelve sessions of Pilates with the reformer equipment, there were improvements in lower back and shoulder strength.

You can expect to see increases in flexibility, muscular strength and muscular endurance with an improved mind-body connection. Visually, you will see strong and lean muscles with improved posture. With the focus on core stability and total body strength, Pilates will help to facilitate muscle activation and development to support proper spinal alignment.

Pilates for Rehabilitation

Pilates, when used as a rehabilitation tool, is a full-body, comprehensive approach to post-surgery or post-injury.  Even if you have no previous experience with Pilates, it can seamlessly be incorporated into your treatment.

Pilates exercises work by correctly positioning of the body of each individual to help to achieve maximum benefit, promote body awareness and proper movement. The basis of Pilates is the understanding of optimal and non-optimal movement strategies and how they correlate with pain and pathology.  

The amount of resistance can be changed from assisting the movement to resisting the movement. Pilates can be performed lying down with progression, to sitting and standing; both optimizing rehabilitation following surgery and injury.  Reinforcing correct movement patterns in a pain-free and non-threatening environment is especially beneficial following surgery or injury.  The principles of Pilates used in conjunction with skilled Physical Therapy knowledge is very effective for rehabilitation from injuries.  Rehab Pilates is able to take traditional Pilates moves and modify them to fit the needs of the individual patient. Identifying imbalances and re-educating the body can help you get back to doing what is important to you.

Pilates can be best used for patients who experience: back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder dysfunction and other orthopedic problems, as well as after surgery.
